Questions & Answers

Can you tell me whether this is real Tung Oil or if it simply has a similar appearance?

In the MSDS for this product (found on Menards' website), it is stated that it contains 70% mineral spirits and 77% volatiles (i.e. There may be 7% other chemicals), so at most it contains

Hi, I have a spanish rosewood sink from Belize. Will this product be a good choice to treat and condition it?

A Tung oil conditioner, such as this, is not a pure form of Tung oil. As you can see, it's called "Tung Oil Varnish" because it's actually a blend of oils and clear-coat I would rather seal wood that is exposed to water with some type of varnish. Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful finish and one of my favorites, but I wouldn't use it to protect wood that gets a lot of moisture. Taking many coats of this very thin and light finish to "build" and seal the wood is required. Your choice of what you will use is determined by two factors Where did the sink originally get its finish? 2. Also, 2. Is it important to you that the sink be completely "sealed" from now on? It'd be much more beneficial if you used a butcher-block finish to "treat" the wood rather than just condition it. If conditioner or oil is blocked, it should be removed. Most of these products are used to make cutting boards, butcher blocks, and other products like that Applications that do not require a non-stick surface include counter tops and other applications No harmful substances, food-safe, but allow the wood to breathe. Although these products do not seal your wood, they can be used to protect it. As an example *br> If you want to truly seal the wood sink and make it water-proof- use Howard's Butcher Block Conditioner. A permanent coating will be needed if the installation is too tight. Use an epoxy product that forms an impenetrable There are two A part of epoxy is used for bars A table's top and base - As an example, tops would fit that category. There are toxic chemicals in these products and they are not edible It is safe but, once dried, they can't be removed. Also, it would be helpful if there were pictures. In the possibility that you could provide clear and detailed pictures, I could offer a more specific answer.

Has anyone used this on a butcher block tabletop for a workshop?

If I were to use it on a workshop table, I would not use it on a butcher block. I am not sure whether it is food-safe

Is it possible to apply it to cabinets that have been varnished so they have a lustre?

The wood I use on new projects is always new to me. This is the first time I have ever tried varnishing

Selected User Reviews For Formbys 30066 High Gloss Tung Oil Finish, 8-Ounce

This gloss is awesome! This gloss is awesome! I found this product on youtube after researching a 1956 rifle stock that was packed in cosmoline
5/5

i stripped it down with alcohol and treated it with boiled lin seed oil, but wasn't there yet. I found the video and looked at it and thought It's not even close to being the end of the world. Let me just stress this first DO NOT EXPECT IMMEDIATE This is not an easy task that requires a lot of patience. Every 12 hours for the next 14 days I'd apply the Tung oil to the rifle, that's how long it takes for it to dry the end result was a glass-like shine, a look of exotic hardwoods and a rifle I'm proud to display. The show and tell of a 50 year-old I will gladly send a before and after picture to anyone who sends me an email requesting one.

I recommend this tung oil as it is of good quality and is effective
5/5

It comes from Formbys and is a good quality oil. I was able to complete my weaving loom with a nice finish thanks to the finishing. Adding tung oil with a brush or rag is possible (though the work can be a bit sticky), but the results will be worth the trouble. It is best to let the oil dry overnight before touching it, so that it does not This small bottle is a good price and I won't use any other brand. It goes a long way with just a little bit.

Linseed oil and camellia oil have proven to be more effective for me
3/5

As far as my unvarnished Japanese wooden practice sword (bokken/bokuto) is concerned, it was a little too tacky and sticky after drying. Linseed oil and camellia oil have proven to be more effective for me. Although some folks claim that the 50/50 tung and linseed combination is a good combination, I still prefer the Camellia or Linseed.

For the first time ever, I worked with wood
5/5

product that delivered what it promised. After watching a YouTube video explaining how to stain and treat a wooden hand rail in my house, I selected this product. As an alternative to the traditional stain/poly messy process, this product was proven to work. After a light sanding, I applied it with some gloves and it sucked up the first coat very quickly. There was a total of about 4 coats applied. As the coats became thicker and thicker, they grew heavier. This finished my wood in a sleek smooth finish while giving it a deep tone. A tempered glass- In other words, it is The process of staining and coating with poly is much easier. You will be amazed at what it can accomplish if you look at YouTube videos. If you have a small woodworking project, then buy this product. It gives the wood a much richer appearance. Your wood will be fun!.

Usually I apply it by hand rather than with an applicator because I really love it
5/5

I absolutely love it. No matter what furniture I have applied it to, it always gives it a beautiful finish. As soon as you stop using it, this will get terribly sticky once you stop using it. You'll need a waterless hand cleaner for this. In order to prevent it from congealing between uses, I always squeeze the contents as close as I can to the top of the bottle before recapping.

Now that it's available again, it's a good thing
3/5

It's not as good as it was, but the factory in China uses inferior materials, so it doesn't cover as well anymore. As well, I will look for an alternative to this brand since it has become so expensive.

The best oak conditioner you can buy! It works well on pine, and especially on oak, and I have used Formbys 30066 High Gloss Tung Oil Finish on several projects
5/5

Between coatings, it's important to hand rub each coat in and let it dry for a minimum of six hours, even better overnight. You will be completely satisfied with the finished piece treated with this tung oil finish if you lightly sand it between coats with fine (at least 100, better 220 grain) sandpaper.

The finish on this is excellent
5/5

The knife handle I made from this project is made from wooden boards. After application, the surface is relatively shiny and clean. Several people commented on how well it brought out the grain of the wood. I was very pleased with how it turned out. As well, its odor is not nearly as offensive as poly's. My review was very positive, so I hope you are as pleased with it as I was and I appreciate you reading it.
